There was construction on the lobby and pool area during our stay. We were completely unaware when we booked (their website did state but we booked through Orbitz). Lovely property, nice rooms. Poor/ slow service in the bar and overpriced average food in the restaurant.

We loved being right on Pacific Beach. Plenty of sights and things to do, good restaurants close by. The restaurant next door, "World Famous" was excellent. Hotel staff was very responsive to our needs and the property was very clean. All in all a very good stay. Highly recommended.

We love the bayfront room. The room was large and had beautiful windows overlooking Mission Bay. We rented bikes and road to the ocean, played putt, putt golf, and walked around the island. We also rented kayaks and kayak around the island a wonderful, restful Retreat.
